Olympic spoiler alert! Olympic spoiler alert!
If you've watched any sporting event in the last two months, you've no doubt seen US Olympic snowboarder, Lindsey Jacobellis. She can be found in the advertisement for Visa, with her coach telling her to "picture being on the winner's stand" in an effort to calm her down, and then realizing that the best way to relax an athlete is to have them imagine that their credit card was stolen.
Well, Lindsey Jacobellis learned today that Visa's seven layers of protection doesn't stop you from being a dumbass.
Well on her way to a Gold medal in the brandy-spanking new "snowboardcross" event, Jacobellis decided that winning the gold medal by a wide margin wasn't enough, and she decided to "style" her way to the finish line. What else would you expect out of a snowboarder, right?
Unfortunately, Jacobellis fell and was passed by Switzerland's Tanja Frieden, who claimed the gold medal. Frieden's boyfriend (Seth Wescott) won gold in the same event for the United States yesterday.
Way to go, Lindsey. Leon Lett needed the company.
On a side note, the snowboardcross event is wildly entertaining, and earns a "thumbs up" from this sports fan.

Maybe she saw an open Dunkin Donuts(another of her corporate endorsers) and decided she needed an iced coffee. She will live to regret her showboarding ways.
